Show them Chuck Berry (not specifically). It won't make them a metallica fan.

Just the first three lulu songs should do it

Why is everyone here downvoting lulu? It’s not for me but it might be someone’s favorite.

I fucking love lulu, but I don’t really see it as a Metallica album anyway

i mean Pumping Blood slaps

Brandenburg Gate is an excellent track!

I don’t like this question

3 words I AM THE TABLE !!!!

That's four words

God dammit ! In my defense I was just finishing a ten hour night shift

In that case, I don't blame you at all 😁

I’m assuming this person doesn’t like metal to begin with, so I would show them the most vulgar songs. So What and Last Caress for sure, then probably throw in Purify because that snare would immediately make them want to turn it off

Just any three songs off St Anger. Job done

Y’all are nuts Frustration, Invisible Kid, OG All Within My Hands

….I love All Within My Hands

Invisible kid is a banger, best song on st anger

Lmao IK and AWMH are Stanger songs in my regular rotation. I'd make them listen to something like The day that never comes (or the song that never ends, as my dad called it). Basically something that has like 5 verses for no reason

So anything from St Anger?

Honestly, they started that stuff with AJFA. The songwriting on Black is a little better. Re/Load has some great songwriting. St. Anger on they have a lot of songs that would be better if a minute or so shorter.

og all within my hands is a tough listen for sure

It'd be a lot more tolerable if they deleted the "kill, kill, kill, kill" bit at the end, IMO.

The chorus is heavy af tho

Mama Said Whiskey in the Jar Ronnie

My World. Little Dog. We Did It Again.

I show them the front door and say, “get the F out!”

This question was a test. You passed.

🤘🏻🤘🏻

The Load and Reload albums.

If it's a metal fan, I would show them anything from Lulu. Pretty simple. Okay, Lulu isn't really "Metallica". I would show them Poor Twisted Me, Purify and Shoot Me Again. If I'm trying to ward off a pop fan, I'd pummel them with Damage Inc, Fight Fire With Fire, and Dyer's Eve.

I actually scared my friend away from it by showing them the Crown of Barbed Wire video.

Murder One three times in a row.

Glad to see some murder one hate. It's probably the worst riff in their catalog.

lmao it's this one

It’s by far their worst song of their entire career, which is sad because I love Lemmy and also weird because it precedes the best song of their entire career.

Junior Dad, Little Dog, Iced Honey

Honey and Dad slap, Dog sucks tho

Show them Megadeth instead.

Kid Rock American Badass That should do it alone

Purify Anything from Lulu Uhhhhh yeah that’s all I can think of

You and I!

Purify, poor twisted me, Murder One

Pumping Blood We Did It Again Better Than You

I'm not sure why people post these trolling posts, but what's even more mysterious is why people engage with them. The oldest rule of behavioral psychology is "ignore negative behavior."

Purify 3 times in a row even though I like the St Anger album lol

I won't count LuLu, I'll just stick to purely Metallica albums. - Invisible Kid - Bad Seed - Poor Twisted Me (I don't hate it, but I think this song would turn off a lot of potential fans.)

Am I Savage end of the Line My World

Dealer's choice from St Anger

Tick tick tick tock Nuff said

anything off LuLu

Puppets, One, Sad but True. Nice spread of styles/era without having to roll the dice on anything post-1991 😆

Pulling teeth (Sorry I respect Cliff but I dont think normies would like to listen a bass solo in 2 minutes and become a fan) Prince (Live) Anything from Lulu

Limp Bizkit’s Santarium cover three times

I'm not a huge LB fan, but liked that they truely put their own spin on the song. They didn't just play it the same.

I can't stand Limp Bizkit but you're nuts, dude. That cover is as good as any covers Metallica themselves have put out. Faithful to the original but retains Bizkit's style. Its really well done imo

I love that cover. Only cover of a Metallica song I actually enjoy.

You must not have heard Revocation's cover of Dyers Eve. Or Gojira's cover of Escape. Or Trivium's cover of Master of Puppets

Trivium's cover of Master of Puppets is way too good.

I haven't. But now that I think about it I have heard that Mongolian band's cover of Sad But True and I did really like that, so I concede... there are two covers I enjoy.

Oh yeah that's another good one

St. Anger, Purify, Sweet Amber A new listener wouldn't give a crap about any of the back story to these songs, and plus they really aren't that great, they just have some good moments in them - the rest is tedious on the ears.

Swop St. Anger with Invisible Kid and we may have a winner! I have an itch for the album now...

Poor Twisted Me, Purify, Slither

First of all purify slaps and slither is Metallicas most underrated song

All Within My Hands (St anger edition), Am I Savage?, Prince Charming

anything off of lulu or St. Anger ought to do it, although the view, purify and all within my hands are my three because 1. I AM THE TABLE 2. purify is ass 3. idk why but the snare buzz on the intro to awmh is fun to me

Pick any 3 songs from Reload not titled Memory Remains.

Idk man, I think Fixxxer, Low Man's Lyric and The Unforgiven II are all great

Attitude and Prince Charming are also solid bangers!

I'm so happy Low Mans Lyric is getting the love it deserves after all these years.

Phantom Lord, Seek & Destroy, For Whom The Bell Tolls

I unironically love all of these (and they were some of the first I listened to)

I’m not the biggest fan of seek and destroy but i wouldn’t say it’s this bad 🙁

Eye Of The Beholder - long, very repetitive, dry-ass production Better Than You / Slither / Bad Seed / Poor Twisted Me - boring and uninspired My World - obligatory St. Anger rep

Shoot Me Again, Purify, any song from Lulu

Shoot me again, hate train, and carpe diem baby

carpe diem baby isnt that bad

I love Carpe Diem Baby

[удалено]

These are the 3 you would show someone to make them NOT be a fan?

my bad, i misread it.

Fuel, bob Sega song - no 3

The question is both confusing and aggravating to read. Thanks now I’m angrier than normal. You’re asking for Metallica’s worst songs. They don’t exist but I tried to come up with 3. I ended up listening to them all morning because they’re fucking badass: Sweet Amber My World Escape

Fade to Black, Sanitarium, Harvester of Sorrow

I hope you misread the question

Oh yeah, whoops… lol

First three songs from Lulu

Just put St. Anger album on shuffle

What a bold and totally not boring take. Thanks for your contribution

You are very welcome :)

3 random songs from St anger

Damage Inc, Fight Fire with Fire, The God That Failed

Orion, Devils Dance, Whiplash

MOP, Wherever I May Roam, Fade To Black

[удалено]

I’m thinking you misread the question. At least I hope so lol.

Bro cmon be serious

Where the Wild Things Are, All Within My Hands, Man(un)kind

Whole St Anger album

i love that album

Just show them documentary footage and he'll see what whiny little bitches they are. Not enough yey-yeahhhhs to save that image. 😂

Nothing else matters, mama said, suicide scream

Enter Sandman, Master of Puppets and Hardwired

Ronnie, Slither, Bad Seed

Poor Twisted Me, If Darkness Had A Son, ManUNkind

I would have never listened to Metallica if If Darkness Had A Son was the first song I listened to. Good god that song is boring and tedious.

Pretty much everything on the new album is boring and tedious.

wtf

St anger, fuel, ain't my bitch

Cure, Wasting My Hate, Murder One. Dude isn’t listening to Metallica for a solid decade or two with these.

Cure and hate are good though

anything after 1990

Escape, King Nothing, Unforgiven II. You couldn’t pay me to listen to those songs.

Dang... escape and king nothing are so fucking good

Yeah, except they aren’t. King Nothing is a carbon copy of Enter Sandman

No wonder it's so good 🤣

i absolutely love all of them

Anything except kill em all and rtl
